Ruth, a Moabite woman, exemplifies God’s inclusion of Gentiles in His redemptive plan, foreshadowing Christ’s work for all nations. Her faithfulness to Naomi and to the God of Israel reflects the steadfast love that Christ demonstrates to His bride, the Church. Her inclusion in Jesus’ genealogy (Matthew 1) affirms that salvation is not by heritage but by faith in God's promises. Like Ruth, we are redeemed not by our works but by the grace of our Kinsman-Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
